                    [Summary] => 
Until three days ago when she finally decided to open up, Madame Stella Marquez-Araneta was mum about the controversial Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas, presumably cautious lest she stir a similar hornet’s nest last year when the Philippine bet MJ Lastimosa finished only a semi-finalist with her gown being blamed for it, with poor Madame Stella raking the brunt of the bashing.
